separate form for each. If the proposed deletions have already been clearly identified in a related proposal, you do
not need to complete this form.
Academic proposals are subject to annual deadlines. Implementation of any proposed changes may be delayed if the
proposal is submitted after the relevant deadline. Please consult the Specialist (Academic Committees and Services) for
your Division for further information.

ensuring that affected students are informed about changes and transitional arrangements.)
